Cubs manager Mike Quade said Tyler Colvin will have to earn playing time rather than have it be given to him because the team is well out of the playoff race. "I won't throw my veterans, who have been battling all year, [on the bench],'' Quade said. "Especially Reed [Johnson] - what a year he's had - and say, 'You're going to sit down for a week.' No... And these kids will get their at-bats and opportunities, but to me it's not just, 'Here it is, go get it and the rest of these guys can watch you play.''' GM Jim Hendry said the reason Kosuke Fukudome was dealt was to get a two-month evaluation period on Colvin, but evidently he and Quade don't see eye to eye in that regard. The Cubs have shown zero foresight all year from what has been a sinking ship, so we can't be surprised that they continue to refuse to look to the future.
